First of all m8, u have picked da wrong Corsa to modify and the modifications don't make a difference to the born uglyness of the 5 door, iv seen a few 5 drs that look da biz but only after they av ad a few k spent on them. My advice 2 u is get rid, get ur hands on a 3dr and start from there. Cheap system but good wud be alpine head unit, decent 6x9's, usually priced around £100, sum good mid's. Depending on cash, an amp and sub. Price 4 da lot, about 500-600 quid! Ope dat elped!

woz9 wat the fcuk are you on about, there is loads of 5 door kit.
keverlass the front and rear bumpers are the same on 3 and 5 doors, only thing different is some side skirts and all spoilers.
take a look at mine, its not quite finnished but basically im making a one off kit consisting of a modified carlton auto front for wide archs, psg2 wide archs modified for 5 door, impact skirts modified for 5 door, modified impact rear for wide arhcs and smoothed out etc..

also got 17's which were a bitch to fit, but never the less i got em on in the end.

GOt a 5 door, have got Combat Kit on back and front and fits fine, have had skirts extended to Fit. Keep the 5 door but get a bigger engine ie at least a 1.6 or do what im doing and get it slammed with 18's and a vauxhal 2.0ltr lump in it, and before you dicks send me shit about it cant be done, it can and it will be done and it will be in max power. Respect to the 5 door crew

I agree, 5 doors rule. You dont have to get out of the driving seat when you pick sum1 up and they dont look as hidious as 3 door common cars!!!

I've seen some nice 5drs around, i'm not sayin' theres no hope for the 5 door. I think 3 dr corsas look alot nicer, aren't i allowed an opinion? If 5drs were so gud, don't u think there wud b more modified 5drs around? The reason why the 3dr is common because it is a nicer corsa to modify. Not startin' an aguement.

its probably due to the fact that the sporty models only came in 3 door form.

just bought a 5dr and could have bought a three also but was the same price and i'd feel like a tool getting out to get ppl in and it just looks better IMOP so hopefully will be able to find decent mods but we'll see
